We derive an expression for diffractive F_2 structure function which should be valid at small x for quasi-elastic scattering on a hadron and for quasi-elastic scattering on a large nucleus. This expression includes multiple rescatterings of…
We investigate nuclear transparency induced by pion electroproduction on nuclei, $A(e,e'\pi^+)$, with our interest in the role of the two-step process in the Glauber multiple scattering theory. Based on the framework in which the quantum…

The $n$-th moments of the nuclear structure function $F_2^A(x,Q^2)$ are analyzed using the off-shell kinematics appropriate to describe deep inelastic electron-nucleus scattering within the impulse approximation. It is shown that off-shell…

We suggest to use polarized nuclear targets of $^7$Li and $^3$He to study nuclear effects in the spin dependent structure functions $g_{1A}(x,Q^2)$. These effects are expected to be enhanced by a factor of two as compared to the unpolarized…
A future high-energy electron-ion collider would explore the non-linear weakly-coupled regime of QCD, and test the Color Glass Condensate (CGC) approach to high-energy scattering. Hard diffraction in deep inelastic scattering off nuclei…
The early onset of nuclear shadowing in photoabsorption at low photon energies has recently been interpreted as a possible signature of a decrease of the rho meson mass in nuclei. We show that one can understand this early onset within…
